Liberals hurt themselves more than anyone else when they did this and they will be wailing with regret soon enough.
They should have remembered that people on welfare and food stamps who need free contraception and need the government to take care of them do not buy stocks. They don’t even buy many products if they aren’t supplied by the nanny state.
I never heard of Carbonite before Rush. After this, I bet I never hear of them again, either.
Anyone who dropped Rush obviously doesn’t want MY business.
I don’t get to listen to Rush but I’d love a list of his advertisers that didn’t abandon him so I can give them my business.
I predict that as this nation polorizes more and more, businesses on average will decide there is too much public relations liability of being involved with the sponsorship of any kind of political commentary programs, and just ditch them altogether.
I hope that gets Carbonite’s attention. And all the other leftist organizations who think they don’t need us- consumers.
Of course Obama has a slush fund for em, so probably won’t make a difference.
IOW, we were gliding toward obscurity before. Now, we're racing toward it!!
Let's wait till we see how Rush's ex-advertisers do over a longer haul than just today.
I'll bet when the market goes up again, his rat sponsers will stay mired at their low pond-scum level.

Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Hey folks .... I sent an e-mail to my local radio station today to thank them for carrying the Rush show because I was certain they were coming under intense pressure. The message I got back was:
“It hasn’t been easy. The opposition is very organized...but thanks.”
I guess I should not have been surprised …. but I was. This is a strong Rush market and I did not expect the station to be coming under such pressure.
If you are so inclined, PLEASE contact your local Rush radio station and let them know that you support them for carrying Rush. If you have state ‘ping’ lists, let them know this is going on. Enlist the aid of your friends and relatives living in the area …... whatever resources you have to get the message to these beleaguered radio stations, use them!
If you want some interesting if not ‘shocking’ reading on how organized these Leftists are, here’s an article worth reading:

It’s a few pages long, please read it all. We CANNOT let the Left win this war and make no mistake, it is a WAR.
We are living in the times described by George Orwell when he said “In an era of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act”. I say: To cower in silence is no longer an option. I know the power of FReepers when they get together and ACT – this is the time to DO something!!!
Awesome!

Surprised the guy would even advertise on Rush's show.
The DNC claims to rep the indignant.
Why on earth would a business cater to the tomographic that cant afford its products?
I see Netflix type leadership at Pro Flowers, Carbonite and Select Mattress.
